Shield Slalom

One of the official games of the Kindred Games, Shield Slalom can be practiced before the official games begin.

During the official game, there are three winners.

[Jirkirl's Hilltop, Slope]
Peering down the snow-covered hill, a natural obstacle course of trees and other shrubbery dots the landscape. Meandering through the trees are several rutted paths devoid of snow. Some of the trails end abruptly at the bases of trees, where the debris of shattered shields still litters the ground. A makeshift awning constructed from pieces of wood with canvas pulled tightly over its surface protects the piles of shields from inclement weather. On the edge of the slope rests a long table and chair. You also see the gate back to the fairgrounds
Obvious exits: southeast, south, southwest

[Shield Slalom, Starting Line]
Perched at the crest of a tall incline, the starting area offers an eagle eye view of the Wendigo course and Snowbunny course below. A large sign describing each of the runs sits behind several piles of shields near a long set of steep stairs that lead back down the mountainside. You also see a pile of small slow shields, a pile of medium edged shields, a pile of large fast shields and a small placard.
Obvious exits: none

In the Giantman language, it reads:

                                   FIRST:  Pick Your Shield
                            The small warped shield is slow.
              The medium-sized smooth one is average speed.
         For a faster run, the large waxed shield is your best bet.
